John Quincy Adams, born on 11 July 1767, was an American statesman,
politician, diplomat, lawyer, and diarist who served as the sixth
president of the United States, from 1825 to 1829. He previously served as the
eighth United States secretary of state from 1817 to 1825. During
his long diplomatic and political career, Adams served as an ambassador and
also as a member of the United States Congress representing
Massachusetts in both chambers. He was the eldest son of John
Adams, who served as the second president of the United States from 1797 to
1801, and First Lady Abigail Adams. Initially a Federalist like his
father, he won election to the presidency as a member of the Democratic-Republican
Party, and later, in the mid-1830s, became affiliated with the Whig
Party.
